Is DSP p.Asp97Asn (c.289G>A) pathogenic?

DSP p.Asp97Asn (c.289G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in DSP (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2023-10-06). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2561); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma.

How common is DSP p.Asp97Asn (c.289G>A) in the general population?

DSP p.Asp97Asn (c.289G>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Carvajal syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about DSP p.Asp97Asn (c.289G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2561) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
